Well, it's been 5 years since I've had a new baby in the house. Of course, I knew before she was born that I had gotten very used to sleeping through the night, to eating dinner without being interrupted by a squalling baby, and to quiet Sundays where the older kids read and the younger ones play together (semi) nicely. I wondered how I was going to handle my plunge back into babydom, the land of ultimate (if forced) unselfishness. Here is how it has been:
Every breath she has taken, every minute that's gone by, every late night feeding and diaper changed - I want it all back, I desperately want it all to quit flying away so fast. Not a day has gone by that I haven't wished I was in the hospital again, that she had just been born, and that I could have every minute of her life to live over again. That's how much I love her.

She is a cutie! However, I don't know if I would feel too old and tired to do it again, or if I would want all that time back. I hope I'd feel like you especially if I had such a cutie!
I totally agree! My babies grow up so fast, and I just wish they could stay small longer! I'm always saying to my kids, "stop growing up! Just stay my little boy/girl forever!" She is a precious little thing...and we love her already!
